Thirsty for you// Solby

Colby's journal
Vampire life

I'm not a normal teenager, I'm not a normal human. I'm a creature that subsists by feeding on the vital essence of the living.

One night while I was out doing my nightly walks to calm myself down, I feel a large hand grasp my left shoulder, whoever it was leant forward to the point were I could feel their hot breath against my neck, causing the hairs to stand up from the sudden breath. Next thing I know, a sharp burning sensation shot through my body, from top all the way to bottom.

It almost felt like my life was being drained away. I didn't know what happened after what occurred in the alley. But I woke up to the side of a dumpster, still pitch black sky, only light being the orange street light. The pain in my neck was awful, but bearable. I forced myself up off the concrete and made my way home.

Curious to see if I had bruised my neck, I go to my bathroom and see the reflection of myself in the mirror. At first I saw nothing, that was until I saw my collar was stained crimson red, I pulled my collar down to reveal what I thought was to be a bite mark.

Doing tons and tons of research and having side affects such as, red eyes and having a craving for thirst but everything I tried didn't help, my body structure changed a little and I got stronger. I had learnt a vampire had turned me, it exchanged blood with me and that's the only way you can turn into a vampire. I will age 30 years in 50-60 years on earth.

This constant need to have blood is the worst part, I don't need a lot, but it's what gives me energy. Thankfully I know someone who's a nurse, they give me blood bags so I don't have to kill. These fangs and red eyes were never my curse, it wasn't a choice.

A vampire needs a loved one in their life, like an anchor. Someone who they have a soft spot for, the person they go to first when there's a problem. And Colby has figured out who. That moment that blonde kid, Sam sat next to me. I felt my heart rate pick up, I never got nervous. My inner vampire was finally talking to me, well actually screaming at me to get with him.

Being with a human is incredibly dangerous, some vampires lose control, some are too rough. So I gave myself a pep talk that I swear on everything I own, I will protect Sam at all cost.

That's why when Sam told me about Brennen, I told Brennen about how I get a happy tingle around Sam. Brennen knows my feeling but not how serious they really are and for him to mess around with my Sam, I couldn't bare to see Sam cry. Hence me being a dick to Brennen.

Everyday Colby was filling in his journal of his life. Colby hates not being around Sam, but knew there was not much he could do. He would see him tomorrow anyway. But when the blonde and brunette were leaving the school premises, he saw the blonde grow tense and concentrated. And obviously this caught Colby's attention.

"Hey, are you alright you seem tense,"-Colby asked.

"Uh, yeah I'm good, it's just.."-Sam stopped letting a sigh escape his lips.

"I don't understand why I get all this hate, it was so bad at my first public school, I was shoved, threatened, got given horrendous notes. Teachers don't do crap, so I decided to be home schooled, I was for 2 years. It got boring and I had no friends so to start public school and not know anyone here, it's terrifying and I'm confused"-Sam rambled.

"You should stop caring about what they say or do, because in the end it's you who matters, most of these people will not ever be associated with you ever again. So don't spend your time wondering what's bad about yourself and what can be fixed. Be happy with who you are, be happy you don't blend in. And your not alone, now you have a friend, me"-Colby said happily.

A soft chuckle escaped Sam's lips, Sam was Colby's new drug, something he is addicted to and forever will be. A small chuckle drives Colby insane and the fact he isn't dating the blonde makes it worse. Yes he just met the blonde, yes he may already be head over heels for the blonde, but that's what being a vampire does to your life and also because Colby genuinely liked Sam.

"Your right, thank you Colbear, I'm super appreciative to have met you,"-Sam smiled, I felt myself heat up, there was no doubt I was slightly blushing.

"Well, thanks so much for today, I'll see you tomorrow yeah?"-Sam asked, Colby nodded in response and waved to Sam.

Colby was laying flat on his back, calm on his bed, staring at the ceiling for no apparent reason. His mind was flooded with thoughts, all of the same thing and of course it was Sam. He wasn't complaining.

Colby would happily sit at home all day and think about the blonde, but of course that's not the best thing. It would make being around Sam more challenging.

Then a thought came to mind that shocked me, it was my inner vampire. What if I turned Sam? I mean I wasn't totally against the idea. But the process is awful, the structure of the human body changes, control of thirst is difficult to handle. Colby struggled and the idea of Sam being in pain from the bite made him growl at himself, he never wanted to hurt him.

He heard something vibrate, he turned to his right and saw his phone light up.

Samuel😉
Goodnight Colbear!

Colby grinned like a idiot at something that would mean nothing to others, but made Colby's world light up.

Colby🧀
Goodnight Samuel :)

I let out a relieved sigh, for once excited for the next day of school.
